Okay, so this is a made up, thrown together BBQ sauce I made using Jack Daniels Old No 4, on Saturday to use on ribs.  For once everyone loved it.  Warning, the sauce, in raw state will have a slightly sweet and very lemony taste.  This will temper when cooked or used on BBQ.  Cooking releases the spices and the flavours come together beautifully.

I served this as a Sunday brunch with scrambled eggs and a simple white wine, vinegar and lightly spiced salad of cold cucumbers, peppers and grape tomatoes.  Very refreshing brunch on a hot Sunday morning.
